Explore NHL goal data as never before! This interactive visualization maps over 16,000 goals from the 2023 NHL season+ into cosmic formations - galaxies, clusters, solar systems, and individual stars.

⭐ What You'll Find: Goals are clustered by location on ice, shot type, game context, and player similarity. Similar goals form "galaxies" - you might find all the goals from a specific area of the rink, or goals scored in similar game situations grouped together like stellar formations. Finally, solar systems portray goals which share similar goalscorer and goaltender names. The names of celestial features are determined by the goals they contain.

🔍 Interactive Features: Click on any object to see information about goals it contains. The stars themselves have detailed information about the goal, including video highlights when available. Use the search feature to find specific players and see all their connected goals highlighted with golden lines across the map to form constellations. Every level contains a share button so if you find something cool, hit the share button and the link will take someone directly to that location on the star chart.
